hey zach, i have aj pierzynski and him going on the dl might just kill me down the stretch. two of the better catchers available are tyler flowers(his replacement) and nick hundley(whos been hot) ruiz and kurt suzuki. obviously u can see not many options as this is a very deep 16 tm keeper league. i was thinking go with flowers cuz it looks like he has been hitting the last couple gms and he is going to get most of the starts for cws. thx

Should I be concerned with Joakim Soria? I have Perez (CLE) & Kimbrel as my other closers, but with playoffs coming up, should I drop Soria? If so, My options are:
Salas, Santos, Putz, Farnsworth, Walden, League, Feliz & Madson closer-wise & Venters is available as well.

What is this, a 6-team league:-)? Normally, I’d say to hold onto Soria as he has a proven track record (although I am concerned about him right now), but with so many good closers on the waiver wire, sure, go ahead and drop him. Honestly, I’d have a very hard time deciding who to pick up as I’ve never heard of a league where all of those closers are available, but I’ll take a shot at it and say that Putz, Farnsworth and Walden would be my top 3.

In the playoffs (12 team 2 keeper league) till this sunday and I see Kubel is DTD..Do you know if he will be back before the end of this week or should I drop him for another player like Edwin Encarnacion, which I have learned from this post is E5. I only know Kubels issue is family related and I hope all is well with him.

All I know is that Kubel will be out for tonight’s game. Beyond that it’s unclear. But I think E5 is worth a pickup regardless, and while I’d try to drop someone else for Edwin (as I’m a big Kubel fan), if you have to drop Kubel I’m OK with it as your season is on the line.
